Retro Game Corps is a good place to start when it comes to looking the the different retro handhelds. Reviews are detailed showing the limits of each device and often comparisons to other devices.

Strafer@artemis.campto Games@lemmy.world•Sony's Remote Play handheld Project Q has been renamed PlayStation Portal and will be available for $1992·2 years agoHaving the screens atop of each over helped along with the fact that most DS/3DS games didn’t require you to pay attention to both screens at the same time (e.g. some games used screen 1 for gameplay and 2 for a map/inventories etc)
I split mine into a few categories:
- Backlog
- Playing
- Multiplayer
- Completed
- Junk (Usually filler from bundles)
I only keep the playing list expanded and relatively small to avoid choice paralysis.
Strafer@artemis.campto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Why are trending posts on Mastodon mostly negatively politically oriented?12·2 years agoI found the better way to use Mastodon was to follow users/hashtags of interest and then filtering out most of the topics which produce ragebait. It means my feed isn’t as busy but I also get none of the ragebait.
I sometimes go through my gb cart collection for ideas on what to play next on my handheld emulator. Mario Picross though is such a good game to wind down with at the end of the day.
Strafer@artemis.campto Technology@lemmy.ml•It’s time to rethink our relationships with streaming services42·2 years agoSeems like for most people they would be better off cancelling most streaming services and only renewing for a month or two when enough new content is there rather than having multiple ongoing subscriptions.
Strafer@artemis.campto Technology@beehaw.org•Most bosses regret how they mandated workers return to the office. They blamed it on not having enough data54·2 years agoThey had the data, they just repeatedly ignored it since it didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear.
Strafer@artemis.campto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox on iOS without webkit ? In progress or abandoned ?33·2 years agoUntil there is anything formal from Apple allowing alternative browser engines I’d wouldn’t really expect too many updates from Firefox on their custom engine project.
Strafer@artemis.campto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?4·2 years agoI felt this a bit too. I never played it back in the day so I was playing it fresh as each game released as part of the PC master collection. Playing Halo 1 without nostalgia googles is rough as that campaign has not aged well. It’s starts decent but then reusing the same levels made the second half a mediocre slog.
Strafer@artemis.campto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•3 more reviews of DS "shooters", now with robots/mechs (Chibi Robo, MechAssault, Bionicle)4·2 years agoThese reviews have been great. I never really considered looking into FPS games on the DS/3DS and you have now convinced me to try Bionicle Heroes.
Strafer@artemis.campto Pokémon@lemmy.ml•Pokemon Company "having conversations" about how to ensure game quality with regular releases20·2 years agoFor most people the Pokémon IP is a much bigger draw than a potentially better game though. Game Freak are in a position where due to the Pokémon IP they can release a game riddled with issues and still sell well.
I remember that achievement at times being such a pain but it was so worth it just to send the damn thing in to space!
I’ve started doing similar logging my games but not going as far as to write my own reviews.
It’s interesting looking back though a year and seeing what I played over a calendar year. Last year I tried Castlevania and Metroid for the first time and both series really pulled me in. This year seems to be the 3DS Fire Emblem games and Final Fantasy series (never played them before and now I’m up to FF7).
Strafer@artemis.campto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on6·2 years agoI just bookmarked the subscriptions page instead so I never really saw the standard homepage.
Strafer@artemis.campto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Playing Mario Bros. (Atari 2600). How about you?4·2 years agoEnjoy! It’s a great start to the series. I played the GBA version for the first time this year and it was worth completing.
I think this is what I’m seeing too. Some of the magazines I followed on social I couldn’t find here so they hadn’t federated yet but I’m sure that will all resolve soon.
Strafer@artemis.campto Artemis App@kbin.social•/kbin's APIs Almost Here and Artemis Public Beta Isn't Far Behind!!1·2 years agoThat’s awesome! Looking forward to trying the app either on Artemis.camp or in the eventual public release :)
It’s how I ended up going with my 351V a while ago (this is prior to the current generation of handhelds) and it’s been perfect for what I’m playing on it.
